The latest report from Binance Research Institute shows that in the field of AI related cryptocurrencies, Meme coin dominates with a market share of 41%, while the DeFAI sector, which combines AI and decentralized finance, currently holds only 10% of the market share. The report points out that DeFAI is undergoing a transformation from proof of concept to infrastructure, and its development mainly relies on four core components: AI agents, development frameworks, protocol layers, and trading markets. Recent industry developments have confirmed the growth trend of DeFAI, such as Tether's newly launched QVAC project, which conforms to the characteristics of the DeFAI protocol framework. The report also warns of three major risks in this field: unclear ownership definition of AI agents, insufficient operational transparency, and potential abuse issues in decentralized governance. Researchers believe that if an effective regulatory framework is established, DeFAI has the potential to reshape the on chain financial system.
